SolidWorks

SOLIDWORKS is 3D product design software that provides tools for parametric modeling, assembly creation, and 2D technical drawing, helping engineers move from concept to production. It allows users to design parts, simulate performance with finite element analysis and other simulations, create computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) instructions, and manage design data.

Pressure Plate Process

This lesson focuses on:

Creating base, boss, and cut features from sketches
Adding fillets to smooth edges
Creating a circular pattern
Adding drawing views
Adding centerlines, center marks, and dimensions to the drawing

Sketching the circle

Sketch another circle and make an extruded cut through all.

Added fillets.

This what the Pressure Plate should look like.

Base Extrude 1

Make the sketch for the cylinder and extrude it.

I used the axis to recreate the cylinder. I made 5 more and spaced them evenly around the circle.

I added my initials.

Sketched a smaller circle and then extruded it.

Made an extruded cut in the cylinder.

Added fillets around the cylinders.

This is the drawing for the Pressure Plate.

Pressure Plate Product

Using the criteria of the lesson above, I created my Pressure Plate Product.

-I created a base (hexagon)

-Then I extruded it making it 3D

-I also cut my initials into it

-I added fillets to smooth out the edges

-I cut a circle into the middle to give me a center point

-I then cut and made circles around the center using a circular pattern

Lesson #1

Lesson 1 Objectives:

Setting up a new part document
Creating the base feature
Adding a boss feature
Creating a cut feature
Adding fillets
Adding a shell feature
Editing features

Made a new part document and created the base feature.

Adding fillets.

Added a boss feature.

Adding a shell.

Another boss feature and making a cut.

The finished product.

Added initials.

Lesson #2

Lesson 2 Objectives:

Adding parts to an assembly
Moving and rotating components in an assembly
Creating display states in an assembly

Added the part to Lesson 1 final product.

Finished Product.

Mate it to the edge.

Hidden lines view.

Rotate to combine the parts.

Add Initials.

Lesson #3

Lesson 3 focuses on:

Opening a drawing template
Editing sheet format
Inserting standard views of a part model
Adding model and reference annotations
Adding drawing sheet 2
Inserting a named view

This is a drawing of the product of Lesson 1.

This is a drawing of the product of Lesson 2.

Fillet Process

Fillet Lesson Objectives:

Using relations in sketches
Adding draft angles to extruded features
Adding different fillet types
Constant radius
Variable radius
Use a mirroring feature
Applying a library feature

Build the part and fillet them together.

Fillet the center line.

Added more fillets

Add a keyhole.

Mirror the part.

Fillet Product

Using the objectives above I created my fillet product.

This is the finished fillet product gif..

Take the part from the process fillet project and added various fillets.

Cut the initials into the product.

Mirror the shape.

Added initials.

Revolve and Sweeps Feature Process

Lesson Objectives:

Creating a revolve feature
Creating a sweep feature
Creating an extruded cut feature with a draft angle

Built the frame of the candle stick.

Sketch the handle.

Finished product.

Resized all of the measurements.

Use the sweep feature.

Used the revolve feature.

Cut into the top, for the candle.

Revolve and Sweep Product

Using the objectives above I created my own revolve and sweep project.

This is a gif of my finished project.

I drew my base.

I used the sweep feature and I made a cut into the top.

I used the revolve feature.

I added and cut my initials into my product.

I drew a handle.
